QUOTES FROM OSU HEAD COACH Judy Spoelstra - CAL @ OSU 2-26-04
On Cal's play overall:
"This was the kind of team we saw in the pre-season that is scary. They were driving and slashing and just out-hustling us all around."
On OSU's lack of hustle and rebounds:
"We missed a lot of short shots early in the game and we were standing around a lot, especially in the second half."
"It was very physical in the first half and it wears us down. We didn't get to the line much in the first half and started slow in the second."
On improving for the next game:
"We challenged the girls to come in and shoot around in their free time. We haven't practiced as much lately and that is something we really need to do."
QUOTES FROM CAL HEAD COACH CAREN HORSTMEYER - CAL @OSU 2-26-04
On tonight's game:
"This was a great win for us tonight. We've had a difficult month and have played a lot of tough games, so I was really pleased that we came out and played with great intensity and never let up."
"We missed a few shots that we should have made, but we really had a good inside presence tonight. We got inside and were able to come up with a few good offensive rebounds that gave us some good second chances.
On keeping the team focused and motivated:
"We just keep emphasizing effort and that is really our main goal for the remainder of the season."
On the tonight's bench performance:
"I felt really confident with our bench, as you can see, we played everyone. We have some sparkplugs that can come off the bench and really help take the pressure off our starters."
